Title: Aussie 4 speed help
Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on January 31, 2016, 11:18:00 PM
We have a few Aussie 4 speeds about, but I found one in our collection that has a sender installed just under the 3/4 shift lever.
It looks like a factory fit-up, can anyone shed some light?

The Transmission Control Switch only permits Vacuum Advance in Top Gear when the Engine Temperature is above 63 degrees C.

That is not quite correct. The switch on the gearbox side-plate simply tells the emission system that the gearbox is in fact in top gear (4th in a 4-sp or 3rd in a 3-sp). The 63 degree switching is operated by a separate temp which is mounted in the cylinder head directly into one of the many mounting, detecting the the temp. of the actual metal.
